Very beautiful style! the dialogue feels poorly translated somehow, but otherwise i don't have a lot of critique... the fact that i can't dash backwards maybe? this feels like it would control great with controller, as i was afraid to dash to absorb foxfire shots, worrying that my somewhat stilted maneuvering would cause me to take damage from shots that didn't get absorbed, which did happen once or twice.
All in all really well done! i can see the full game of this stretching out before me c:
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate the kind words & constructive criticism! We'd love to make a full game of this, we were considering subtitling it "pilot" or "prologue" because it definitely feels like a vertical slice of what a full game of this could be.
Fun fact for the dialogue being poorly translated, this was an intentional decision. Our team played a lot of Touhou 7 during the beginning of the week for bullet hell research. I felt like the story had some unique charm in how the translation was very literal, and like you had to read between the lines of it. I was hoping to achieve something similar with this! But it might have been a bit out there of a choice to make, I'm not sure if I'd keep it for a full version of this game, haha. But I'm glad you noted it, it's definitely what we were going for. :D
